Today I want to talk about stress mastery. At some point as human beings we’re all going to encounter stress. One important step is to assess whether the stress is due to expectations, comparisons, capacity, relationships or ability. If it's due to expectations, then there's some mindset work that needs to happen to adjust those expectations. If it’s due to comparisons, find a lower bar to compare to so you feel better about yourself. If it's due to capacity, this will involve you learning a new skill or bringing some additional help in to expand that capacity. If the stress is due to relationships then perhaps those relationships need to be re-defined or conversations need to be had. If the stress is due to sheer ability, sometimes it’s best just to remove yourself from the situation.
